New Delhi, Sep 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) In a mega crackdown against the sales and distribution of online child pornography, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is condcuting raids at 56 locations across 20 states on Saturday.
Highly placed sources told IANS that the CBI received inputs on the sales and distribution of such material on the Internet from Interpol's Singapore-based Crime Against Child Unit.
After this, various teams of more than 200 CBI officials were formed to crackdown on the entire network of the accused involved in the crime.

The operation has been named 'Operation MeghChakra'.
The sources said that the ongoing operation was a follow up of raids which were conducted in November 2021 in connection with the same crime.
At the time, it was named 'Operation Carbon'.
